Nintendo Switch Gets Its Guts Ripped Out in Teardown Video

It's one thing to tell you the technical specs of a piece of hardware, but its another thing to see the pieces and how they all fit together to make it work efficiently. We get a look at the inside of the new Nintendo Switch and just what makes the console-handheld hybrid tick.

IFixit put together the three-minute video, which is essentially a screw-by-screw deconstruction of the Switch, a Joy-Con controller and the base unit, all with no commentary. We see in the Switch itself:

If you aren't a tech junkie, it's an interesting look at Nintendo's newest piece of hardware and how it was put together. And it definitely is more scientific than dropping the unit on concrete to see when it stops working.

Yeah I'm going to cringe really hard if they really do sell it stand alone for $100. Could have been something cool, but is pretty much a complete waste. Would have been nice if it could house a full HDD, and interface with the eshop without the dock involved.

Buy a game away from home, and start downloading to the docks HD. Get home and dock the Switch to transfer the game over. Things like that.
